ICS has entered into a partnership with the U.S. Embassy, Cairo to provide programs about American society, culture and values.

The Integrated Care Society would like to develop a strong Sister Library partnership with a US public library system in order to seek expertise and guidance on library technical issues, collection development, exchange of policies, procedures and activities, exchange of information on fund-raising for library programs, effective programming for children, youth and women, explore possibilities for staff exchanges (both individuals and group) and to share information about Egypt’s rich cultural heritage with the United States.
